Engine Identification





The vehicle identification number (VIN) is located on the left side rear of the engine block (1) and is typically a nine digit number stamped or laser-etched onto the engine at the vehicle assembly plant.
^ The first digit identifies the division.
^ The second digit identifies the model year.
^ The third digit identifies the assembly plant.
^ The fourth through ninth digits are the last six digits of the VIN.
